Abstract
Our understanding of signal transduction pathways involved in the regulation of melanoma development and resistance to treatment has advanced significantly in recent years. Here we focus on the current understanding of major cascades-from the receptors (including HGF, TNFR-associated factors, and Wnt), to kinases (including phosphatidylinositol phosphate 3'-phosphate and mitogen-activated protein kinase), to the affected corresponding transcription factors (including activating transcription factor 2 [ATF2], nuclear factor-κB, β-catenin, and Stat)-that contribute to the course of melanoma development.
